About Traynette
Traynette Jenkins-Reese is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 24 years of experience. She works with adults facing family and relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting stresses, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Her practice also notes work around blended family issues, communication problems, and concerns common to young adults.
She draws on person-centered care, which means she starts from where a person is and listens first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy are part of her toolbox. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are affecting daily life.
Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps and practical skills. That can include identifying patterns that feed anxiety, practicing new ways to talk with a partner or co-parent, and setting small goals for change. She also uses motivational interviewing techniques to clarify what a client wants to change and why.
Her background includes work in residential treatment, outpatient clinics, in-home care, and employee assistance programs. This variety has exposed her to many presenting issues across different communities and age groups. The range of settings informs how she frames plans and follow-up between sessions.
Clients can expect a collaborative process focused on problem solving and coping strategies. Conversations move at a comfortable pace and aim to leave someone with usable steps after sessions. Those interested in beginning are asked to use the site's matching tool and schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's situation. Online sessions using this approach involve the therapist asking open questions, reflecting what she hears, and working with the client to set clear goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect; in an online visit this often means identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new responses between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps and what changes would look like, which can make sessions feel practical and action-oriented.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made or new issues arise.

It can also support steady progress with homework and skill practice between meetings. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and activities to match what a client can manage in everyday life.
